Patented Feb. 9, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE ALFRED C. BEHBERGER, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO A. C. RBI- BERGER 00., OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, A CORPORATION OF ILLINOIS FOUNTAIN PEN STAND SWIVEL Application filed September 11, 1928.

.i y present invention relates to a fountain pen stand s'n'ivel.

The principal object of my invention to provide a device of this type which will. hold toe .lountain pen socket in any desired position, due to a tixod to sum arrangement in cluded in the swivel device.

A. turther object oi the invention is the pr don ot' a swivel which permanently set at the rcrpzirrd tension so that it cannot become loosened by accident or through continued use.

i' ltill another object of the invention is the provision of a foimtain pen stand swivel which can be readi y and economically manntact u re d Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent trom the accompanying specification and drawings, in which.

Figure l is a side elevation of a desk stand embmlvinp; my invention,

l i ire is a side elevational view taken at a glcs to F 1 and showing the stand broken away,

ire E is an enlarged horizontal crossscctzonal view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. L, and

l igure d is an enlarged vertical cross-sectional view taken on the line +t-4; of Fig. 3.

In the drawings, wherein like numerals 1'e for to similar parts throughout the several views showing the preferred embodiment of n invention, the numeral 5 indicates the bat-., ot a fountain pen desk stand provided with a penholding socket 6 oi any desired type. The socket (S is supported or connected to the base 5 by my preferred form of swivel, generically designated by the numeral i.

The sWivei '4" comprises a centrally slotted member 8 attached to the base 5 and a disk member 9 attached to the socket 6. Disk member f.) is adapted to fit Within the slot 10 of member 8. The slotted member 8 is preferably rounded to give it a syn'lmetrical appearance and the disk member 9 has a rounded periphery so that it will properly fit Within member 8. The member 9 is pivotally supported in the slot 10 of member El by means Serial No. 305,209.

oi. a pin ll which extends tl'irough an aperture 12 at the center of disk 9, the pin 11 being carried in a transverse bore 13 in slotted member 8. A. spring; Washer 14 is provided to trictionally engage the members 8 and 9 to hold the latter and the pen socket G at the desired angle, this washer 14 being fitted Within a cirmilar cut-out portion or pocket 15 in one face of the disk member 9. As is particularly shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the Washer 14 is preferably radially corrugated and it thereby exerts a pressure between the Walls of the sfot ll) of member 8 and the faces of disk member 9, with the result that the socket 6 i always be tensioned to remain at any desi red angle.

is shown in Fig. 2, the slotted member-8 is provided with a downwardly extending post '14; adapted to lit in an aperture in base 5. Post 16 is fitted with Washers 17 and an intermediate coil spring 1.8. A nut 19 at the lower end of the post causes spring 18 to exert pressure against the upper Washer 17 so that the latter bears against the lower surface of base 5 with suliicient friction or pressure to permit the socket (5 and slotted member 8 to be rotated by slight force and holds them in the desired position.

I claim:

The combination. with a fountain pen desk stand comprising base and pen socket members, of a pivotal connection between the members comprising a slotted element attached to one of the members, a recessed disk element attached to the other member adapted to be titted in the slot of the first-named element, the co-acting' faces of said elements being smooth, and a spring Washer Within the recess of the disk element and acting between the slotted element and the disk element to resist relative movement.

ALFRED C. REHBERGER.
